Well, it's sort of a Bene Gesserit thing. You get training in advanced martial arts, and the ability to control people with your voice. Once you get
to a certain level, you can actually destroy objects by saying "Hiram Abif" at them, but only if you do it right, mind. Plus you are taught to use a
square as a sort of lethal boomerang, and there's the eye-poking technique with the compass.

Plus, for health professionals of the Masonic Way, there's that whole module about caring for lizard people. You've got a completely separate A&P
for them, of course, and the pharmacopeia is a bit different, plus you have very different phlebotomy supplies for lizard people. Can't use a regular
human angiocath for a lizard person. Plus the monitoring is very dodgy - you have to memorize tables of acceptable values for blood pressure, hearts
rates, temps and the like for not only various ages of lizard folk, but for the various clans. An Oo8!*ork lizard person has a very different baseline
arterial pressure than an UlAni lizard person. Plus the waveforms are quite different. It's worse than going from peds to geriatrics in humans, by
far.

looks like the freemason sign is an invert/inside out version of the star..

I was looking at an article about a young couple who were killed on the way to hospital to deliver their child the same date as the queen left
hospital. I thought the young girl looked like peppa middletons.. or you could say their wedding pic could very much look like kate and willy if we
remove the side thingys.

I'd really like to know if Mr. Smith is a Mason or not.

no, he isn't. You cannot be an atheist and join masonry. A belief in a higher power is required.

And no mason that I know of would complain about an invocation. The only reason Jesus Christ isn't mentioned in SOME lodges, is that brothers of
different faiths might be there and using an all encompassing prayer is more fitting.
We asked Jesus if he was cool with that and he said yes.

My lodge is almost all christian and if an ad lib prayer is given, Jesus is usually mentioned, as the guy who jumps at the opportunity to give such is
a very prominent local Southern Baptist preacher.

If he's an atheist, no, he isn't.

By his persistence and confidence that he'll win in court, does he have high connections?

You don't need connections to be confident you'll win in court. You don't even need to be right. (I've been told, for instance, that my posts in
another forum constituted actionable offenses, and that I'd be "hearing from attorneys".)

Doesn't this request interfere with one's right to free speech? After all, if one is asked to or volunteers to conduct the prayer, shouldn't
they be allowed to speak freely without fear of persecution?

The majority of case law supports this interpretation. In fact, if I'm not wrong Smith is actually making hte unconstitutional request.

I've read in several places that Jesus Christ is not to be spoken of in Masonic lodges because people will be offended.

It's more that the lodge is not a place to bring divisive issues.

This has never seemed right to me if the only necessary thing for membership is that you believe in a higher power. I guess the fine print is
"unless it's Jesus Christ, please keep it to yourself."

Similar discretion is requested of all other theological opinions.

Maybe this is why Masons are being demonized and called Satanists?

Your confidence that demonization of Masonry can be traced to reasonable disagreement is, in my experience, unfounded.

Maybe they aren't evil per the definition, but it certainly seems that they're a bunch of sensitive liberal control freaks who don't like
people using their Constitutional right to free speech and expression.

Oh, right, and that is why there are no people in the Freemasons that are in high levels of gov't, British or otherwise, that would be
ridiculous.

Thank you for your explanation.
Nurses here don't wear any belt whatsoever so to see her rocking a red one .. let's just say it's the newest trend in fashion called colorblocking

The buckle though, i trust your explanation it is not unusual to wear, it still remains uncommon designed buckle.
Nice find OP.

She's probably ward matron, I do beleive blue and a red belt is traditional for them in some hospitals at least. Anyway I'll ask Mr Suspiria about
the belt buckle, his ex missis was a nurse there at some point.

the nurse uniform although it is the uniform for that hospital, it so reminds me of the nurse uniform during ww1 and 2.. All she needs is her red
riding hood cape.

Well it does make sense. I doubt Maj would be happy going to a hospital where the cleaners look like nurses and the nurses look like cleaners as is
normal these days. I'd prefer if hospital staff stuck to trad uniforms myself.
